While I have no intention of either getting involved in this slanging match, or in any certification (or meta-certification) process itself, I do feel compelled to comment on one saddening aspect of these disputations.

Tim Maher is a man whose integrity I hold in the highest regard, and I am deeply disturbed by the snide insinuations I have read here regarding ulterior commercial motives on his part, and by other attacks on Tim's character.

I agree. While I may have my professional disagreements with Tim about the value of certification as anything other than a money-making scam (grin), I hope none of my comments have been construed as a personal attack on Tim. I know him well enough to know that he is not intentionally misleading anyone. Maybe a bit misguided, but not misleading.

Let's keep the comments about certification to the merits of certification, not about the proposers or any bystanders.
